Aortocoronary bypass graft. Initial blood flow through the graft, and early postoperative patency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraoperative measurements of blood flow were made in 70 patients in whom a total of 103 venous bypass grafts had been inserted from the aorta to the right, the left anterior descending, or the circumflex coronary artery. Cineangiographic evaluation of graft patency was performed in all patients. Overall patency rate was 90.3%. Flow in all bypass grafts averaged 68 ml/ min. All grafts with flow of 20 ml or less

Aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafts. Long-term patency, morphology and blood flow in patients with patent grafts early after surgery.
were performed in 85 patients after saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass surgery. In a prior study (< 2 weeks postoperative) of 570 patients with 1197 grafts, arteriography revealed 89.6% early patency of grafts. Late follow-up in 85 patients discharged with all grafts patent revealed 92.2% still patent, an annual mean graft attrition rate (percent of grafts closed/year) of 3.2%/year. This mean ...
متن کاملImmediate postoperative aspirin improves vein graft patency early and late after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A placebo-controlled, randomized study.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of aspirin for prevention of thrombotic graft occlusion after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depends both on the dosage and time window of administration. Early and late graft patency were therefore assessed in a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of aspirin, 324 mg daily, given within 1 hour of CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS Angiographi...
متن کاملAortocoronary graft flow and reactive hyperaemia in relation to postoperative myocardial infarction.
Blood flow through aortocoronary venous grafts and its response to a brief period of arterial occlusion--reactive hyperaemia--were studied in relation to the development of postoperative myocardial infarction. In 40 patients with intractable angina due to obstructive coronary artery disease, 72 aortocoronary venous grafts were constructed. In 18% of the grafts there was no response to the flow ...
متن کاملGene delivery to aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts in a large animal model of intimal hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE More than 50% of aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts are occluded 10 years after surgery. Intimal hyperplasia is an initial, critical step in the progression toward occlusion. To date, no clinically relevant large animal models of aortocoronary saphenous vein graft intimal hyperplasia have been fully characterized. Gene therapy holds promise as a novel treatment for aortocoronary saph...
متن کاملCine computed tomographic evaluation of aortocoronary bypass graft patency.
Evaluation of the patency of coronary bypass grafts has previously required hospitalization for invasive angiography. This report of three cases documents the unique capability of cardiac cine computed tomography to easily and accurately define coronary bypass graft patency. In each case, the findings altered therapeutic decisions. This early experience justifies wider application of this techn...
